2023 Hunttalk Thread of the Year

[buckbull]

Allright huntalkers, what thread kept you coming back for more? The ones you knew you were going to get a good laugh. Its been an odd year with some old time members bidding farewell (willm, jls, douglasr). So what thread deserves the honor of being the thread of the year?

Pretty sure @Hunting Wife needs to do her awards first before we go straight to thread of the year.

18 days until the end of the year. I’m sure something could go off the rails in that amount of time and be in the running.

 

[Irrelevant]

I agree that HW is typically to facilitator of the end of the year awards, but you certainly picked 4 very good ones for Best Humor Thread.

 

[buckbull]

Whoops. Didn't realize HW did this. I'll ask Randy to delete.

 

[Hunting Wife]

All great nominees. I often give up on some of these off the rails threads and miss the deserving humor nominees anyway.

Honestly, I haven’t gotten all that excited about Talkies this year. I get tired of the whiners that take themselves and made-up awards too seriously. It started out fun, but has gotten less so every year.

The implosion of the Talkies last year was one of my bigger disappointments for this forum. Such a fun thing ruined unnecessarily.

RIP Talkies.

Gone to soon.

We should get rid of the like button as well as the others while we are at it!

If you don’t nominate me for something, I’m going to throw my sucker in the dirt and report you.

Get in line, apparently

It’s a bummer that some dudes, who apparently need to get their Stuart Smalleys from a hunting forum, ruined a really fun tradition.

 

[Gerald Martin]

Wait, are you serious that folks were really salty about not getting nominated? Lame.

 

[44hunter45]

I'd write a Haiku about it, but Gerald might report me.

Um, yes.

I just love reading compelling writing, and I thought compiling those at the end of the year was a nice way to close things out and make sure people didn’t miss some of the incredible reads that got posted during the season.

But I’m not going to lie- it took a lot of time and work, and then to get a bunch of bitching and moaning after all that, for the second year in a row from a couple people… I just had enough. It was supposed to be fun, and if people are going to continually cry about it, I don’t want to waste the time and effort doing it I guess.

Don't let the a$$holes get you down @Hunting Wife, we appreciate you.

Sorry HW. Life's too short.
The forums have taken a more polarized turn. Less compelling writing and more regurgitating the tribal battle cry.
I certainly added to my ignore list this year.

 

[SC Living Outdoors]

It’s pretty silly guys would complain about that, but I’m also not at all surprised.

Idk if there are nominations for story/thread of the year or not, but if there are I think @WinkB WI elk hunt with his daughter was fantastic. It was by far my favorite read of the year.

If @Hunting Wife does nominate me again this year, I’m eating Roach.
